A lot of 240sx have LSD stock so that 99% is crap. It came with the ABS package, and the hicas package, so there are TONS of them around. I have a LSD on my 95. An the GST vs. 240, a 240 would have a GOOD chance of winning. I've taken GSTs and even GSXs with my KA. The KA is a torque monster, don't take it lightly. It has a much better power band than most 4cyls.
The 240 has 155hp, 160tq and it's about 2650lb and RWD
The GST has 210hp, 214tq and it's about 2900lb and FWD
It's not that hard to figure, that the 250lb less, and the RWD could easily make the HP difference it would take to win.
I could walk any FWD car off the line (both running street tires). That ALWAYS gives me a huge advantage.
I've seen a Type R run a 15.5 @LACR (don't remember speed), it only has exhaust and a CAI.
I've ran 14.4@101 at LACR. My SR isn’t "stock" though although it's stock boost, I have 3in down pipe, and full 3in exhaust, FMIC, and a K&N.
Line me up with any TypeR and I’ll walk on him.
The video you guys were referring to I have on my site the video is a joke, no way the typeR would pull on him. It was obviously a Honda bias video:

It's a slow server so I don't want to hear complaining, if you want the video you'll wait, if not you wont 
the vast majority of s-cars in the US
dont have an lsd. a completely stock srpowered 240 and a completely stock itr is a
very close race.

well if you are running your sr20det at stock boost and running 14.4 @101 then i dont think you know how to drive chief and a type-r running a 15.5 is believable considering the amount of overweight italian males that seem to buy them around me.
im not impressed by the type-r in straighline acceleration because my car is faster than it
but im also not impressed with your numbers either, what was your 60' time?
your trap speed is a little high for 14.4
although i do not deny the overall build quality and superior engineering that went into the b18c5
and while we are comparing nissans and hondas why dont we talk about the skyline versus the NSX.
ever seen driftworks 3? an NSX shits on a GT-R on a semi technical track, in fact the GT-R spins out behind the NSX cause he doesnt have the suspension engineering honda does.
and the NSX is NA
~boom
:blah: so spinouts are caused by poor "suspension engineering"? you must be kidding me. spinouts are caused by driver error. also, we are not comparing nissan vs honda. we are comparing stateside sr-powered 240s and stock itr's.
